The final conference of the project will take place in Braunschweig on 25 and 26 September 2025. At this conference, project results will be presented and an outlook for the topic of XR in research and teaching at TU Braunschweig will be given, as well as an exchange with researchers from other locations.
Further information will follow on this page in the comming weeks.

Salome Flegr is a junior professor for physics education at Dresden University of Technology. During her doctorate at the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (IWM) in Tübingen, she focused on the meaningful use of simulations for teaching and learning in the natural sciences. In her postdoctoral work at the LMU Munich, she enhanced her research on simulations with a focus on XR, which still characterizes her research today. She focuses on investigating the effectiveness of XR-based simulations as visualizations for fostering conceptual understanding.
Dr. Kirsten Santelmann works in the Merck-TU Darmstadt Learning Lab. She is a biologist and is responsible for the conception, development and implementation of laboratory days as part of her role as head of the secondary level I department. One focus of her work is on digital learning opportunities, in particular the 360° applications of the learning lab.
Markus Weber works at the University Didactics Center at TU Darmstadt and is part of the e-learning working group.
As part of the Quis joint project fuels (future learning spaces), he is working intensively on the teaching and learning spaces of the future.
His focus is on the three key technologies 360°, AR and VR.
Miriam Mulders holds a doctorate in educational science. She is currently working as a research assistant and postdoc at the Learning Lab at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Her research focuses on the opportunities and challenges of virtual reality for teaching and learning.
Dr. Pia Spangenberger's research focuses on digital teaching and learning formats to promote cognitive, affective and behavioral learning objectives in the context of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Since 2019, she has also been working across disciplines with colleagues from environmental psychology and human-technology interaction to investigate the extent to which "embodiment" in immersive virtual reality (VR) environments can promote a change of perspective in favor of a better understanding of the role of nature.
Dr. Christian Hartmann (Technical University of Munich) investigates learning in immersive, virtual realities. The focus is on the question of how verbal information in XR-supported learning environments - depending on their specific characteristics such as spatial-situational visualizations - is effectively processed in terms of multimedia learning. The underlying questions are methodically addressed primarily through experimental studies, which are supplemented by process analyses (e.g. based on eye movement data) in order to map cognitive and metacognitive learning processes and derive adaptive support options.

On Thursday evening (25.09.2025) there will be a raft tour on the Oker. We will explore Braunschweig from the Oker and be provided with food from the barbecue. Further information on the Oker tours can be found here.
The final conference will take place at the TU Braunschweig on 25 and 26 September 2025.
